“Only that to which we shut our eyes befalls despair, yet beauty is beheld upon the makings of the greater power when we open them; leaving us breathless with delight by simply feeling the breeze.” ::Epictusz Salvatore::
The Devil always smiles when he’s been caught. Always smiles at your distraught. The Devil always smiles when plans fly with fruition, and smiles more at your afflicted intuition.
The Devil always smiles when he’s been caught.
The Devil always smiles.

Meet me in the darkness
that is where I’ll be
Deep within the sharpened crags
I’ll bellow songs of thee
Meet me down below in shadow
Where moonlit secrets shine
I’ll whisper a ballad’s lullaby
In hopes to make you mine
Follow me through misty hollows
Where echoes never end
Don’t trust me now; ha! you never did, you didn’t trust me then.
Meet me in the darkest depths
Where lurks no stars above
Your eyes can light my way below
In search of roads for love
Don’t lag behind
Fear not the dark
Your thoughts I steal
Creates a spark
Meet down below this once
Accept I am disaster
Better this make no mistake
Than a lacking ever after.

Bottled Memories
I still remember
Under the bridge
Of an old German town
Drinking a bottle
Cold and sweet
of sorrow and time
The taste of a memory
Like welcoming autumn
And strawberry wine
Old soldiers passing
Old heroes hazing
Frown harden smiles
In Silence in gazing
Staring down statues
bitter pine smells
A deep breath
with eyes closed
Ignoring the pain
Tears in the damp
To drown in cold rain
A memory deep
In the mist
In the midst of nowhere
Under an old bridge
Drinking down sorrow
Once what was mine
Like an empty old bottle
of strawberry wine
I don’t want to exhale after I breathe you in.

Withered within
A moth riddled book
Words meaning nothing
Distorted
Encrypted
Layers of dust
Brittle and delicate
A venerable look
Pages are falling
like tears and are spilling
Words that have vanished
Abducted by want
Taken by force
Devoured by thought
Withered within
Tattered without
prejudice pages
Raped and imprisoned
In minds
And in lairs
Fantasies rise
Minds beckon for more
Withered within
Like tattered before
~~Epictusz Salvatore
